today as it was to the Victorians around the world more than a
century ago.
Nevertheless, Mark Twain, as is the case with many icons, was
a flawed and conflicted man. While living in Europe in the 1890s,
Twain wrote in his notebook, Are you an American? No, I am not
an American. I am the American.
His narcissism and unbridled ambition led Twain to become
a master at self-promotion, the first true American celebrity both
in the United States and throughout the world. Simultaneously, he
bounced back and forth between a yearning to rise above his own
insecurities and his tendency toward cynicism, such as hobnobbing
with the wealthy upper class while snobbishly making fun of them
in his writings. He wrote of the shortcomings of various peoples in
Europe yet lived among them quite happily most of his life.
There is no question that, after the death of his beloved wife
Olivia and two of his three daughters, Twain spent his last days bat-
tling bitterness and regret.
However, none of these perceived personal character flaws
detract from the genius of Twains writings, works that live on and
continue to validate his stature throughout the world as one of the
giants of American literature.
There is, therefore, good reason that Hannibal should continue
to celebrate Mark Twain, to embrace the notoriety his writings
bring to Hannibal and welcome people from all over the world
who make the pilgrimage to the historic town to walk in Twains
footsteps.
To celebrate Mark Twain, Memorial Day weekend brings the
annual Twain on Main festival to Hannibals downtown historic dis-
trict. The two-day affair will spotlight three of Twains classic books:
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper and
Roughing It.

Many are familiar with the story of Sawyer; the other
two books deal with familiar themes.
The Prince and the Pauper, set in 16th century
England, tells the tale of two boys from diametrically op-
posed upbringings who are thrust into the others world
through mistaken identity. They soon learn that the grass
is not always greener on the other side of the proverbial
fence.
In Roughing It, Twain recalls his personal experienc-
es while traveling to and living in the Nevada Territory
where his brother Orion was governor.
Through interactive activities, music, games, live
performances and demonstrations, the three entertain-
ment areas of Twain on Main will bring audiences into
eras they represent: pre-Civil War Hannibal, Renaissance
England and the Wild West.
For the schedule of events and a list of the more than
100 vendors who will be present on Main Street, visit
TwainonMain.com.
In Twains obituary, the San Francisco Examiner
wrote that he was curiously and intimately American ...
He was our very own. n

vors attendance at Relay For Life is key because it serves as a testimony to
others that there is life beyond a cancer diagnosis. Our survivors inspire us.
Relay For Life of Marion County historically has been raising more
than $100,000, and is home to several award-winning teams. The Flower
Children, led by Mark and Stephanie Bross, is a Ruby Fundraising Team
that has been nationally recognized for its fundraising efforts consis-
tently raising more than $60,000 annually. The OHana/Olivet Team, led
by Yvonne Goellner, and the Palmyra Youth Team, led by Larry Seago, are
regionally recognized Jade-level teams, raising more than $10,000.
Neither a race nor a running event, Relay For Life is the signature fund-
raising event of the American Cancer Society essentially community
gatherings for teams and individuals who take turns walking or running a
track or path to help generate funds and awareness for the society.
The teams offer booths with food items, games and items for sale or
raffle.
Some teams participate in other money-raising activities to boost their
overall fundraising totals.

Honoring survivors
Area cancer survivors invited to be celebrated at Relay for Life
T
he American Cancer Society believes that each person has
the right to define his or her own experience with cancer
and considers a cancer survivor to be anyone who de-
scribes himself or herself this way, from diagnosis through-
out the rest of his or her life.
More than 14.5 million survivors live in the United States, and the
number continues to grow.
Are you a survivor? The American Cancer Society encourages those
who have survived cancer to stand up and be counted, and wants to rec-
ognize individuals and honor their efforts, no matter what type, stage, day,
month, year or decade they may be in the experience with cancer.
Cancer survivors are invited to participate in a dinner at 6 p.m. Friday,
June 3, when Relay For Life of Marion County will mark its 20th year of
fighting cancer, celebrating victories and honoring survivors
and their caregivers. Survivors will receive a special shirt and pin.
The dinner, hosted by Hannibal Regional Healthcare System and the

James E. Cary Cancer Center, is free to all cancer survivors, and guests
will be served with a $5 donation. It will take place in first floor banquet
room space donated by Mark Twain Brewing Company, 422 Main; at-
tendees may use the Main Street entrance.
Parking for the disabled, donated by the Mark Twain Home and
Museum in its interpretive center parking lot, will be across the street.
Registration is required and may be made by calling 877-957-7848.
More information is available by calling Dana Blase at 573-795-4647.
The opening ceremony will start at 7 p.m. with survivors officially
starting the Relay with the Survivor Lap. For those unable to walk a
distance, golf carts will be available. n

Hannibals Alliance Art Gallery
welcomes Drew Sutor, a wood-
work artist, as its Second Saturday

Sutors passion for woodwork-

Jonesburg, Mo., where he crafted
little flat-bottomed sailboats, float-

After graduating from North-
east Missouri State University
todays Truman State and
Brite Divinity School in Texas, he
served in churches in Oklahoma
and Missouri for 22 years, taking
only a 10-year break to manage his
fathers Texaco station.
His passion for woodworking
re-emerged when he bought a
radial arm saw, housing it in his
Palmyra parsonage basement.
When Sutor hit his mid-40s, a
friend introduced him to the lathe,
teaching him to turn wood. Loving
the challenge, he soon was spin-

retiring he has expanded his rep-

May is Better Hearing Month
By Patrick Keyser, Hannibal Regional Healthcare System
May is Better Hearing Month, and it

provides an opportunity for audiologists to
raise awareness of hearing loss.
Its usually a spouse or a friend who
gently suggests it: Maybe you need a hear-

They are the ones who become frus-

OK to repeat things during a conversation,
but, during a movie or meeting, having to
ask what was just said is distracting to both,
and then both miss what happens next.
How do you know whether you need
a hearing aid? The question you perhaps
should ask is, How do I know if Id benefit

medical reasons. Social situations are much
more fun if you can hear the conversation.
Poor hearing usually creeps up on you
so gradually that you become accustomed
to the change. Unless you have periodic
hearing tests, you may be surprised at how
much hearing loss has occurred. These tests
are especially important if you are exposed
to noise at work or with your hobbies.
The appropriate way to evaluate your
hearing is through formal hearing tests.
This way, you can find out exactly how
much hearing you have lost and also find
out whether you have difficulty with word
discrimination where some sounds of
speech are softer than others, causing simi-
lar words to be confused, such as white for
wife or wise.
Once you know you have experienced
hearing loss, your audiologist can advise you a hearing aid. Then you can decide whether that people who begin using hearing aids
about the improvement you can expect with a hearing aid is right for you. Keep in mind earlier are happiest with the results. n

The ABCs of skin cancer
Hannibal Regional Medical Group doctor shares melanoma warning signs
A
ccording to the American Cancer Society,
its estimated that more than 76,000 cases
of melanoma skin cancer will be detected
in 2016. Melanoma accounts for more than
10,000 skin cancer deaths each year.
Dr. Schuyler Metlis, a plastic surgeon
with Hannibal Regional Medical Group, is
encouraging people to learn how to recog-
nize potential skin cancer spots. The goal is to save lives by empha-
sizing the importance of early detection.
To increase a persons chances of spotting skin cancer early,
Metlis recommends that everyone learn the ABCDE rule, which
outlines the warning signs of melanoma:
A
is for Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not
match the other half.
B
is for Border irregularity: The edges are ragged,
notched or blurred.
If you have a spot on your skin that concerns you, call 573-629-
350 to schedule a free skin cancer screening in May. Appointments
are limited.
C
is for Color that varies from one area to another.
More than just skin cancer
Skin cancer is just one of the four major pillars of Metlis prac-
tice. He also performs cosmetic surgery, hand surgery and post-
mastectomy breast reconstruction, and has more than 30 years
